Hey everyone. Im new to this forum but not new to rams.im on my 3rd one ive had a 2001 a 2008 and now I have a 2014 1500 4x4. I want to lift it but w a new baby and a wedding coming up in two months im on a budget. I woukd love to go w a full suspemsion lift but right now that is way outta my price range. So ive been thinking bout a leveling kit w a body lift. Id also like to run 35's on a 20" rim. Im not sure what my options would be .... so any help is greatly appreciated. Id also love to see pictures of all your trucks....thanks

Or if anyone knows of any cheap suspension lifts that'd be ideal. I'm pretty mechanically inclined so the work is no problem.

Put on a leveling kit and 3" body lift yourself. Then 20" factory rims with a 1/4" spacer and you'll easily fit 35x12.5x20.
Probably can squeeze that in under 2grand if you shop around.
My build page has pictures of that setup. I ran it for a few months.


I'd postpone a wedding before I'd drive a factory height truck...I'm sure you're a better man than I. Lol

Performance Accessories is the way to go with a body lift. I agree, if you can do the installation, a leveling kit and body lift will probably be the least expensive lift. Also, if you shop around, you may find a good deal on a Rough Country suspension lift. Again, a great value if you can do the installation.

Ya I'm sure I'll be able to do it myself.... I've never done one on a truck this big before I've only done yotas. My only concern is the bumpers lining up right. On the yotas I've done in the past the bumpers aways poked a little off. Now Idk body lifts might come W better bumper brackets (I'm hoping). Has anyone ever heard of supreme leveling kits I've found some on Amazon for a reasonable price. Again if anyone has any pics of a truck with the same set up that would be awesome

Performance accessories body lift it's the only way to go. I can't remember the brand leveling kit I went with its off eBay and is very well machined.

Don't worry about bumper gaps and such. The pa kit is well put together and relocates them.

Just texted you argray but gotta say it on the forum. Damn. Your truck is looking amazing.

Just another leveled and body lift setup. I have 5100's at 2.8", 1.75" rear coil spacers, and 3" PA body lift. Riding on LT325/60R20 Terra Grapplers (35" tire).

On a side note, pick your level wisely on a 2014. Lots of guys having issues with ball joints popping. Some are replacing upper control arms just to prevent this issue.

Never heard of them so I looked them up. Find it odd under searching for my truck they had the options of 1500, 1501, 1502, 1503, 1504, and 1505. I've never heard of such a thing?

That's pretty close to the sizes I'm running. I'd check into reviews though before makin' the plunge. Hate to see you unhappy with your purchase.
